Guest guest Posted July 22, 2000 Report Share Posted July 22, 2000 HI Candace and Good golly no you sure didn't step on my toes, don't ever think that! Thank you,! You've explained it very thoroughly. I've also read the articles talking about using Estriol, and if it works thats great. My thinking is that from what I know and read it's the Estradiol 17b that can regenerate tissue, and why they use it for atrophy, so I dunno?? As you said whatever works for you. Estrace happened to work for me that's all I know. I also know that Estriol is mostly prevalent and highest in pregnant women and not in someone who is not, so it tells me it's very benign. I agree that Progesterone is necessary and our bodies do produce it, usually starts getting higher mid cycle till our periods start then drops and Estradiol kicks in again. But to me it seems that our bodies already have enough of that, so I can't see adding it personally. Unless one is on HRT (orally) and has their uterus. Plus I just know that the mood swings, PMS, bloat, breast tenderness, etc. has been proven via the medical community to be increased when Progesterone is highest. AND... what scares me, and I've said this before, but that hugh study that came out with over 47,000 women from the Cancer society that has proven it was the addition of Provera (a progesten) to Premarin that can increase a womans chances of breast cancer by up to 40%.... So for me, I certainly don't want to add it unless it's necessary as I said if one is on Hormone Replacement therapy and still has their uterus. Anyway, My .02 cents again, and thanks , believe me, you can do that ANY TIME. *chuckle*... Dee~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
